E.3. Hook Bracket Mounting (MPC-20V Series Only)

The Hook Brackets allow MPC-20V series (vertical) units to be easily mounted in Dell™ style equipment racks. The Hook Brackets can be used to mount the MPC-20V in any rack that includes Dell style mounting rails as shown in Figure E.5.

The Hook Brackets, which are supplied in a right and left hand pair, allow MPC-20V units to be mounted to any one of the four corner posts in a Dell style equipment rack.

1.Attaching the Brackets to the MPC-20V:First determine which direction the MPC will face after mounting, and then secure the Hook Brackets to the MPC-20V accordingly, using the screws provided.

a)The Hook Brackets can be attached to the back or side of the unit, and the unit can also be installed to face the front, rear, or either side of the equipment rack.

b)Each end of the MPC features seven screw holes for attaching the brackets, this allows you to mount the brackets on either side of the unit, and in one of two possible positions on the back. When mounting the brackets on the back of the unit, use screw holes 1 and 2 or 2 and 3 as shown in Figure E.1.

c)Use two screws (supplied with the bracket) to secure one bracket to the top of the MPC-20V and the second bracket to the bottom of the MPC-20V.

2.Attaching the Hook Brackets to the Equipment Rack: Insert each Hook Bracket's tab into one of the square holes in the corner post, then slide the bracket down until the hook locks in place with the rack as shown in Figure E.5. After each Hook Bracket is firmly seated, use a retaining screw to secure each Hook Bracket to the equipment rack.

The Western Telematic MPC series is renowned for its robust and versatile remote power management solutions. Among its offerings, the MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 stand out as exceptional products tailored to meet the demands of modern telecommunications and data center environments.

One of the key features across this series is the ability to monitor and control up to 20 power outlets, which allows for efficient resource management and reduces downtime. Each model in the series accommodates various configurations, including both switched and non-switched outlets. This flexibility makes it easier for operators to manage power distribution according to their specific needs.

The integration of real-time monitoring capabilities is another highlight of the MPC series. Users can track power consumption, voltage, and current for each outlet, enabling better decision-making to optimize energy usage. This feature contributes significantly to the overall efficiency of operations, ensuring that resources are utilized effectively.

Communication is seamless with the Western Telematic MPC series, as these models are equipped with multiple network connectivity options. They support both SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and Telnet, facilitating easy integration with existing network management systems. Additionally, the devices can send alerts and notifications via email or SMS, keeping operators informed about any changes in power status or potential issues.

The MPC models are designed with redundancy and reliability in mind. They come equipped with advanced surge protection, ensuring sensitive equipment remains safe from power spikes. The rugged construction of the units ensures they can withstand the rigors of data center environments, with an emphasis on heat dissipation and airflow management.

Security features are also a priority. The MPC series includes user authentication and access control to prevent unauthorized users from manipulating power settings. The ability to set user permissions ensures that only designated personnel can operate sensitive components, enhancing operational security.

Energy efficiency is a guiding principle in the design of the MPC series. By providing tools for monitoring and controlling power usage, these devices contribute to a reduction in energy costs, aligning with sustainability goals sought by modern enterprises.

In conclusion, the Western Telematic MPC-20VS16-3, MPC-20VD16-3, MPC-20VD20-2, MPC-20VS20-1, and MPC-20VS20-2 are exemplary models in the field of remote power management. With features such as comprehensive outlet control, real-time monitoring, robust communication options, security protocols, and a focus on energy efficiency, these units are engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the telecommunications and data center sectors. By implementing these advanced technologies, operators can enhance their operational capabilities while also contributing to long-term sustainability.
